The Second Balkan War (1913) breaks out and he is sent to the front with his battery. Among those mobilized in the army supply train of the same unit is Old Petko with whom Neda grew up as an orphan. Old Petko is carting shells for the guns. His route takes him through the village and he meets his granddaughter. Neda manages to persuade him to hide her in his cart and take her to Dragan. The battle is raging. When Neda and Old Petko arrive at the position they find that many of the guns have been put out of action and the gunners killed. Dragan and another soldier are doing all they can to keep up the gunfire. Old Petko and Neda load the serviceable guns with the newly brought shells while Dragan continues to fire at the enemy.
